"I just read yet another article talking about the devastating effects of fertilizer runoff on marine life... "
Yeah, there's a giant dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico where the runoff from farming in the midwest seeps into the Mississippi River.

We swam with the sharks in Hawaii, even though we were in a cage it was still pretty intense!

There is a place near Cabo where you can swim with sailfish. They found
it a couple years ago. Its an annual occurrence where they gather for the mating season, then disperse. And there is another place off baja where you can get in a cage where
great whites are swimming around you.
